If you’re like me, then every year you find yourself in the same situation: you have a list of people who need gifts but no idea what to get them. Sound familiar? This year, let’s to do something about it. Let’s join together to create the ultimate wish list in Evernote.
Let’s make gift-giving simple(r)
- Shared wish list I started a shared Evernote Wish List notebook as a place for us to share the great gift ideas we come across.
- Send us your ideas You can add your suggestions by emailing us links to your favorite gift ideas (email link), and we’ll add them to the notebook.
- Share your gift notebook You can also share your own gift notebook with us by placing a link to it in the comments. (Read our sharing post for instructions).
- Link to your account You can link this shared notebook to your Evernote Web account and check back as often as you like to see the great new items that will be popping up over the next few weeks.
The gift of Evernote
Don’t forget, for only $45 you can give someone a full year of Evernote Premium.

SubFolders PLEASE!!! Tags are OK but totally confusing to some. Offline Notebooks. They take forever to download to my iPhone and if I have to restore my iPhone I have to download all over again. Can’t you please write an offline sync program so I can sync Evernote on my MAC to my iPhone Evernote via the USB cable?
Otherwise a really great program….

Patrick Walsh
Completely agree!!!
Andrew Burke
Agreed. I was thinking it might be nice to have a “Drawer” or “Shelf” of notebooks or something just to keep the analogy to physical notebooks intact. Every week or so I wind up adding a new notebook and have been prefixing them with numbers to keep them organized alphabetically. It works, but it would be nice to have an actual mechanism for organizing notebooks in Evernote.
Pablo Espejo
Agree. Subfolders, and posibility of set an alarm for a note.
Brad Rogers
Yes! Shelves! Great idea.

I would like to have touch screen support in Evernote. For example, it would be great to be able to scroll by dragging my finger on the screen. Thank you.
Sam Stroup
I would like subfolders too, but I gotta tell you, Evernote ROCKS! I’m a newbie user and I keep finding uses for it and have it installed on every device I own! Thanks!!!

I would like to see alarms integrated so i can set an alarm at an specific day or time to pop an evernote note,send via email, ect.
I want to be able to write a novel (why not!) and have chapters (outliner?) so I can attach my picture clips,links, audio etc as I research the subjects.
Thanks! I’ll wait!
Benjamin
P.s. Evernote=Best productive App!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Sinkov
Benjamin, thanks for the suggestions.

What happened to this wish? Is alarm still to come?

Evernote is my most-used application.
However, the iPhone app is not nearly as easy to use as the desktop version. This is due to the fact that all contents of each notebook are visible. This requires lots of scrolling to locate or browse for a note. Using the format of the desktop version would make this process much easier.

The single biggest thing I want (and the reason I am still using Google notebook despite the fact it has been discontinued) is the ability to drag and drop notes to resort them — in other words, I want the ability to arrange a to do list by dragging up and down within my notes. Couldnt this be accomplished by assigning a list item number (as a tag for example) that changes when you rearrange. That way you can still sort by date etc… but one of the associated tags (that is perhaps not visible unless you are in that more) is a number that defines where a note lives in the list.
I also want subfolders.
adam
Another thing I really like about Google Notebook is that I can just start typing directly into a note — it is so fast and easy.
Antun
I agree with Benjamin pastrana, alarm is a must in Evernote.
I hope you’ll implement that soon.

- Export Evernotes as PDF (or whatever file format you saved it in) would be nice.
- Option to encrypt PDF en PNG files
dave
yes i second this one! exporting an evernote note as a pdf would be real handy
sy
Sub-folders. Pleasssssssssssssssse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dave
a nice feature to see in evernote would be to have text formatting presets.
today i was putting some text into a note from 3 different websites and each bit of text had a header over it. i had to change each header separately, changing the font size up to 16pt, changing the colour and then make it bold. it takes ages when doing a load of them
it would be quicker to be able to have 2 or 3 presets that you could customize and then just click on them when you want to format your selected text. and they could fit nicely in the same type of pop-out box used for the colour change.
do you have any plans for that type of feature anytime soon?
id donate my liver if ye add that feature lol
Rob Ives
I would like to see the option to keep a particular note, e.g. a to-do list, as the most recent note so that when you open Evenote it would be right there. I would keep my to do list there and then I would not have to search for it or keep changing the date. Hmmm, could you get the same effect by putting the creation date in the future? I will try that.
Rob Ives
Okay, I see you can do that. Should have thought of that sooner.
Rick Gioia
Please configure an Evernote version for Android 3.0 Honeycomb. While the current version “works” but does not take advantage of all the extra real estate.
Matt
I like stacks, but they need to be able to go further than one sub-stack to be of any significant use. Most importantly, the ability to create 2 notebooks of the same name. I have my Personal-Notes and Professional-Notes, and I would like to be able to have a Notes sub-folder for each stack, but I am unable to have 2 notebooks named Notes.
Another really big one is the ability to have the list view show the note panel on the right side of the screen. I love the list view, but I need my note panel on the right side of my screen. I use the mixed view, but it shows less information than I really would like.
I will end by saying, it’s an awesome program. You’ve done a really great job with it, thank you.

Evernote is awesome but…
1. Why Evernote doesn’t have a text highlighter is beyond me.
2. The color palette for font is appalling, reminds me of Win95.
3. Alarm feature. Some notes are to be forgotten, others need to be revisited. An Alarm feature is like a Post-it for Notes.
4. Tag Cloud. It will be legen…dary!
Michael Falk
I’m not sure if this has already been suggested, but the ability to flag a text note at a certain point while recording an audio note.
For example… I take notes and record the audio during our church sermons and sometimes I may want to refer back to the audio when I look at a particular note that I have jotted done. To be able to just click on the note itself and be brought to that point in the audio would be priceless… I think the new HP tablet has that ability built into its note taking app…

We need an alarm function, our evernote is growing very fast. Please =)

Subfolders, Subfolders, Subfolders, Subfolders.
This would be a killer app if you could just a have a deeper level of organization.
With just two levels of folders my Evernote has just become a junk drawer, just too disorganized to quickly find what I’m looking for.
But the minute you add dividers to the junk drawer you can immediately find things quickly and easily.
It is one of the features that makes Microsoft OneNote so powerful.
Lucinda
The ability to rotate PDFs and other images. I don’t want to have to open it in another application, rotate it and import it. I have way too many to do that for. For some reason, Snapscan and Evernote only rotate some of the items I scan.
Gary Fugere
A feature I would like to see is the ability to create a hyperlink to a specific note.
Pedro
I’d love to have maps integration for the mobile version.
For example, you could tag a place, and set a “within distance alarm”. You could add that same tag to some of your notes.
If your GPS enabled device detects you are near one of those tagged places, a notification (popup or whatever notification system works for the device) will appear and the app will show those notes tagged with the “place tag”.
For example:
- You set several context tags to places you visit frequently(#work, #home, #supermarket, #gasstation, …)
- Your remainders are tagged with those tags. For instance, you add notes with stuff you have to do at work, and add the #work tag to them.
- When you are near your work, Evernote will detect it (you have pinpointed it) and notify you, showing those notes relevant to that context.
For those of us who use Evernote to implement GTD, this alone could be worth the subscription.

Rich text note editing on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). I would love to just add check boxes for my to do lists. Appending notes with plain text breaks the seamless functionality between devices.
Image cropping and rotation would be nice too!
Jason
Take a tip from Apple – simpler is better.
There are too many buttons and features in the desktop version. I just want to create a new note, that’s it – and put it in a notebook. Two things. That’s all I need. Two things.
Not 500.
Thanks,
Krista
Wish List –
- Highlighter
- Ability to cross reference notes, just like a wiki
- Ability to highlight note text and mark it with a bubble w/ a comment
Ian
Nah don’t copy Apple. Apple make the simple complex, because you have to spend more money on the next version when it will be available… muppets!
The Obvious for EverNote:
- Right Click on Notebook > New Note option (currently only on file menu)
- BG Color Palette
- Maybe 1 more tier on the folders. Too many and you never find the data, it gets lost.
- Highlighter
- Link to other notes like in MindManager.
May be available already, just not found them.
- Favorites like on the iPhone app.
- 1 Default per main folder Tier.
Thats it for now turtles!
Thanks
Ian

The new large widget for the Android app is brilliant, but could there also be a vertical version, with the notes on the side so that swiping ones finger up or down scrolls through the notes rather than needing to press the tiny arrow buttons?
Shashi Maurya
Linking text to open up other notes or files on the system would be great. Right now, it just enables linking to a URL. Thanks.

Rearrange the order of comments within a folder. Drag and Drop–Change the order of priority.
Adam
I *Love* Evernote, but. . .
Would it be possible to add the ability to set a default ‘sort by’ and ‘sort order’ of the notebooks instead of automatically reverting to sorting on ‘Created by’ and in reverse order? Or, at least have a way for the last-used settings to be remembered/saved?
Thanks!
Elliot
Love evernote. I would love to be able to see my notebook stacks on iPad and android apps
Mike
Is there a way to query all the notes by tag across all notes that are shared with a specific tag?
Some examples:
1. I query for tag “Journal” and I see a list of tags like “Exercise”, “Healthy Eating”, “Travel”, “WTF”. (NOT subfolders!) Each of those tags whould be clickable, so if I click on “Travel” I see all the notes that have both a Journal tag and a Travel tag.
2. I query for tag “To Check Out” and I see a list of tags like “Music”, “Movies”, “Websites”. Same thing. I want to watch a movie, so I query “To Check Out”, and “Movies”. Why not just query the “Movie” tag, you say? OK, so I do that, but then I want to choose from a list of tags like “To Check Out”, “I Like”, “Yvette Likes”, etc. See, it’s not hierarchical!
Assuming I can query like this, this works way better for me than subfolders. It is much quicker and more flexible than figuring out subfolder heirarchies.

How come there’s no spell checker?
Seems like a no-brainer, then we can just write our docs straight into Evernote.
